Ingredients

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Rub in the butter and lard; mix in the raisins, then add enough milk to make a soft but not wet or sticky dough.

Start a griddle or frying pan heating on low heat, and very lightly grease it.

Roll or spread out the dough on a floured surface to about 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick (2 cm.) Cut into rounds, squares or wedges about 3 to 4 inches (7 to 10 cm) wide.

Cook on both sides until each side is lightly brown, turning only once with a wide flipper.

Keep warm in an oven until all are cooked.

Recipe notes

Instead of milk, you can use sour cream.

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
